Hi SSF,
yep, could be show... my show was sticky clear discharge mixed with streaks of blood, could be your turn soon! Good luck! Better call your gynae to let him know though...
I had the pill inserted as well as drip... think pill is to soften the cervix... it produced menstrual cramps, whileas the drip hasten the contractions... the insertion of the drip hurt a little, after a while, it's ok..
Mamachan,
you too, maybe going to pop! Good luck!
Yuen Yuen,
haha, that is the question in the minds of all the mummies.. had another horrible night last night... Shannon woke up at 12am, 2am, 3am, 5am, 6am and 7am wailing for milk... and now she is sleeping like an angel...
Cried twice last night coz cannot tahan that she wants my breast all the time... today we are going to introduce her to the bottle and see whethe she takes it or not..
We are also gonna try waking her up for 2hour feeds today, and play a little more with her in the day, in the hope that she will sleep more in the night and change her cycle..
BTW, any mummies having constipation? I have been having bad constipation since Shannon was born and seem to have to sight in ending

Hi May,
nipple schield is to help bb latch on if we have short nipples. It also helps to mould the nipples so that we can breastfeed without it in future... Clare mentioned that it help with her sore nipples as well, for me, it didn't work, as I ended up having sore nipples though I used it... have to say it was great for lengthening my nipple though

just had a good bath and after that i chg to a new liner and this time it was red discharge but still not alot. just a little stain. called my gynae and he said he had a strange feeling that i may deliver today. anyway ask me to rest and monitor and call him if discharge increases or contraction is severe. so far no contraction yet.
mamachan - all the best to you..wishing you a smooth delivery. i hope i can deliver naturally today too without inducing on the planned date of coming thurs.

So funny, had like "The Show" only this morning. Then after that, no more already. Is this the norm or should I be expecting a frequent blood stained discharge?
Am going for breakfast with hubby now, then come home and see how things goes. Think we'll just pop by KKH and let them examine me.

Mummies,
Seems like most of our bbs are nite birds leh!! Kekeke! Baby Ethan also like dat for the past few nites. Keep waking us up with his super loud cries. Sometimes hungry, sometimes simply just cranky. I tink one of these days, my neighbors will sure complain one. *Haiz!* In the day time, he sleeps like a log. Now his daddy & mummy & CL all "or bak cark" (panda eyes)!

sleepingdeer,
I can understand fully how you feel. ya, better give her some FM so that you won't be so stressed. have to give and take a little. I gave Clariss 40ml last night too when she woke up at 1am and then 3am and after suckling still wants more. she slept too much in the morning and didn't take enough to last her through the night with the 3-4am feed. I think my breasts are functioned such that during the night, they don't produce so much milk so not enough for her when something like that happened. don't be too hard on yourself. I cried often in the beginning too. it's a good way to ventilate but we have to be more forgiving to ourselves. take care.

Hi gals
SY
Yah, i pumped every 3hrs, to coincide with Caeden's feeding time.
My boy's such an angel! He woke up at abt 3.5hrs interval last night to feed and he didn't cry a bit! Woke up coz heard him hiccup and was the time for feeding, then the other time was when he just went 'aik'. I just woke up twice at night to feed him.
Oh, i'm so blessed.

SSF,
I read yesterday that sometimes, it could take up to a week for contractions to start after you've lost the mucous plug (shown by the bloody discharge). If your contractions don't start soon, your gynae may want to induce you. The more common method if inducing labour here is inserting the pessary (tablet) into the vagina to release a hormone to make your cervix soften and start contractions. Usually, together with the tablet, they also give u a drip (another hormone, for example, oxytoxin) to speed it up.
May,
Nipple shield is good for pulling out inverted nipples and also to safe guard sore nipples for breastfeeding mothers.

RE: Nipple Shield
Is it place on the nipple, then baby will suck from there? Or we have to remove it before latching on?
SFF & MamaChan,
All the best !!
CONGRATS to both of u first! Update us on the delivery process soon, yeah?
How I wish the next one will be me... =)

may - i am not sure if i still need to be induce if my contraction starts. if dun need, then i will bear with the pain and if possible not use epidural. however, if i still need to be induce, i may opt for epidural since labour will take some time.
till now, i am still not getting any contraction and my discharge seems to stop. sigh! it could really be a false alarm.

SSF,
dun worry..might be later in the evening.
I have a qn about EBM. Think I saw it in this thread or other. But cannot really remember. Can any BF mummies tell me, can we mix EBM? Eg. First time express 10ml then keep in fridge. 2 hrs later express another 10ml but keep the 20ml in the same bottle. Store it till the desired vol, heat it up and feed bb? Is it ok to do that?

SSF,
Think I read somewhere before it is not advisable to mix EBM of different dates together. If I did not remember wrongly, it is advised that u label the EBMs and always use the least fresh one. If 1 bottle not enough, feed finish the old bottle first, then feed the next bottle. Can anyone confirm this?

ya, mummies who have not given birth, remember the essence. I forget to take one although my mother kept reminding me. in the end, she nag and nag that I should have taken one. some one I didn't have epidural. so the essence is supposed to help. also remember to ask the midwife to let your baby suckle at your breast immediately if possible. it will start to simulate your breast milk to come.
good luck to all of you!
good luck to all of you!
god child - its ok la..u can go walk walk after your in law leave. actually we plan to go in law hse for dinner but due to my show, we decided to stay hm. anyway it may be a good idea since its raining today. good to be home as well since the floor will be slippery. get enough sleep if you can. in fact, i just woke up from a nap not long ago. hehee..
eddjan2

Hi all,
Thanks for the compliments on baby Ashley.
Lisa,
I thot Shannon looks bit like u leh...
I understand there's no need to give water if total BF. In my case its a mixture of BF & Bottle feed (BM & FM). Mum & MIL have been pressurerising (aiyo how to spell...) me to give water in a bottle to BB. I insist the most only sips of water spoon fed. I dun know if i'm right leh? Anyone of you similar to my case and giving water to BB??

Hi tabbiesus and cookie,
I using Mdm Rohaya, find her knowledgeable and good so far, but as what Wendy say, her charges not cheap...$450 for 6 sessions + $30 for binder... her number 94506374.
Hi Clare,
haha, maybe she has my stubborn chin
Ashley has your nose, very adorable!
RE: Water
I don't give Shannon water, but again, the old folks ie my mum doesn't believe and insist I give... so I show her face and insist not to give since Shannon is on TBM. The only time I gave was the few days immediately after she was discharged, coz she has jaundice and the paed advise me to get as much fluids into her as possible... so on top of BM, I gave her few sips of water using a syringe, now have totally stopped...

yes my massage lady provides the binder and massage oil.
clare,
i also face the same problem as you. old folks tend to wan us to introduce water to the bb saying they are lack of water etc etc. but becos i m on mixed BM and FM, i just let Javier drink some water as 'nagged' by MIL and mum. BUt again, even if we fed them water, will it be harmful? i know that for TBM, no water is usually required due to high water content but even if we give some, what is the consequences?
